after israel's deadliest day since the war in gaza began. voting is underway in the new hampshire primary, where nikki haley is hoping to close the gap on donald trump. the world health organization calls for "urgent" vaccination efforts after europe sees a 30—fold increase in measles cases. and oppenheimer leads the oscar nominations with 13 — but barbie�*s margot robbie and greta gerwig both miss out. hello, i m maryam moshiri, welcome to the daily global, where we ll bring you the top stories from around the world. we start in the middle east and the latest strikes on houthi targets in yemen. the british prime minister, rishi sunak, says initial evidence from the us and british airstrikes, suggests that all intended targets were destroyed. he told parliament he was not prepared to stand by and allow

the houthi movement to endanger shipping in the red sea. the iran—backed houthis have been targeting ships that they say are linked to israel and the west, and which travel through an important red sea trade route. houthi officials have said they will respond to the latest strikes, which targeted eight different locations. these included missile launchers, radarsites and underground weapons stores. qatar has said that escalation in the red sea represents a big danger. this report is from our defence correspondent, jonathan beale. is this to become a recurring mission? rafjets loaded with guided bombs flew from cyprus last night, for the second time within a fortnight. the aim, once again, to prevent the houthis from launching drones and missiles at merchant shipping in the red sea. the prime minister making clear,

as before, that, if necessary, they will do it all again. we are not seeking a confrontation. we urge the houthis and those who enable them to stop these illegal and unacceptable attacks. but if necessary, the united kingdom will not hesitate to respond again in self defence. it is a us—led operation — the bulk of the firepower coming from an american aircraft carrier in the region. britain was the only other nation to directly participate. the impact of the strikes soon visible from the ground. this is what they've been trying to stop — video posted on social media, believed to show the moment a houthi missile hits a cargo ship in the red sea. they've damaged several others. and so far, air strikes are not halting these attacks. the pentagon said they conducted air

strikes at several locations overnight aimed at degrading the houthis�* military capabilities. that included bombing a weapons storage bunker underground. remember, this is the second set of strikes the us and uk have conducted. so what's been the impact so far? this graph shows houthi attacks on merchant shipping. they started in november — the houthis say in response to israel's war in gaza. the black dotted line marks the moment when the uk and us first carried outjoint air strikes, nearly two weeks ago. but look since then — the houthi attacks have only increased. there have been another eight. even president biden admits they won't stop the houthis. are the air strikes in yemen working? well, when you say "working", are they stopping the houthis? no. are they going to continue?

yes. air strikes may have destroyed some of the houthis�* arsenal, but by no means all. and this could all be repeated yet again, with no clear end. jonathan beale, bbc news. these uk and us strikes on houthi rebels were supposed to be effective and short—lived. earlier our security correspondent, frank gardner, told me why that hasn't happened. i mean, i think militarily, they probably are a slowly degrading the houthis arsenal, but as long as the houthis are determined to fire missiles at shipping, which they say is either linked to israel or us or britain, than they are not working, frankly, because they were supposed to send this great big warning message, and that hasn't done the trick. the houthis are defiant. the west has got the weapons, but the houthis have got the patience. you've got to remember, they have thought an eight year civil war. they've been bombarded with air strikes by saudi arabia for most of that eight years. and they are more entrenched than ever.

so they think they've got god on their side, that they will outlast the west on this one. they point to things like the retreat from afghanistan from kabul in 2021 of the us defeat in vietnam, and they say, "we can weather this." sorry, go ahead. in the meantime, as they continue on in their words, "whether this", what's going to happen to the red sea? because that remains dangerous for trade. well, quite a large number of ships are still going through it, but at the same time, some of the bigger names in container shipping are choosing to play it safe and go all the way around the far side of the african coast. so instead of taking the short cut between the mediterranean and the sentience ocean through the suez canal, they are going on the far side of africa, which is an extra nine days, $1 million plus, 3000 miles, you know, kilometres plus, huge amounts of distance and time and money. and it's hurting egypt because egypt normally gets the suez canal fees from every ship that passes through. and that is done at least a0%.

where does it end? i think this could go on for quite some time because the houthis have got a substantial arsenal. they will probably try and protect as much of it as they can. they might wait a little while longer. people think it's dying down, and then they hit another ship. so we could be having this conversation in six months�* time. hisham al omeisy, is a conflict analyst and senior advisor at european institute of peace — he gave me his assessment of events. it's turning into a tit—for—tat. for the past few weeks now, this has been the eighth wave of a us led air strikes on sanaa and other governorates. but one of the things that we noticed is that these air strikes are actually pretty precise. i was talking to a lot of people on the ground yesterday and they basically said there was very limited casualties. but as franks mentioned earlier, although the goal is to degrade the houthi capabilities, they have dispersed their weapon caches across yemen. it's notjust in sanaa or taiz.

they are hiding it in multiple other locations. and it's going to take a longer term to degrade that capacity. having said that, there's also the fact that their stashes are being replenished. so now a lot of weapons, a lot of missile components are being smuggled into yemen. so even if we manage to degrade some of the capacity, they're getting a lot of support and they're being resupplied. and with the houthis striking a defiant pose. this could go on for months, replenished from and replenished from and by iran, i take it. so what's the answer there, then? well, that's one that's one of the things that the international coalition and the red sea and the arab sea have been trying to do for the past eight years is restrict those smuggling operations, and they've managed to capture a few dhows in the past. just last last week, the americans intercepted one of those ships and they lost two marines at sea intercepting that weapons shipment to the houthis.

and those shipments will continue. and honestly, we need to have this conversation as well with iran. those shipments need to stop. you talk about iran's hand being in this and we know from other regional conflicts that iran's hand is in a few conflicts around the region. is the answer then for the west to perhaps, in some words, finally confront what's happening in iran and its influence regionally? definitely. one of the things that we've noticed for the past few years, especially with the conflict in yemen, is that everybody is tiptoeing around iran. nobody wants to upset iran. why are they tiptoeing? because of their because of their nuclear capabilities. because of their influence in iraq, in syria, because of the skirmishes that they've had with the islands, with the uae. so they're trying to appease iran. and this is one of the things that even the saudis have done over the past few months is normalise relations with iran. but the thing is that the more

you try to appease them, the more they get emboldened. and we've seen what's happening now in yemen. i mean, the houthis, yes, they're strong. yes, they've managed to build their arsenal for the past eight years. but there's been a lot of technology transfer. there's been a lot of training that without iran, they couldn't have reached those heights on the ground in yemen. taking you live to what is happening in new york at the united nations security council. the statement on the conflict between israel and gaza come in the last two minutes to me said the humanitarian situation is appalling. let's have a listen to what he is saying. in appalling. let's have a listen to what he is saying.— appalling. let's have a listen to what he is saying. in the face of colossal human _ what he is saying. in the face of colossal human suffering - what he is saying. in the face of colossal human suffering and i colossal human suffering and enormous obstacles, our united nations humanitarian operations are striving to deliver. tragically, 153 of our colleagues have been tailed, a source of bottomless greed for us all. at the same time, the women and

men of the united nations alongside our partners in gaza are working heroically every day to reach people in need. many have lost loved ones and left behind shattered homes. mills and otherfood items and left behind shattered homes. mills and other food items to shelters. they are supporting the very few bakeries that are still functioning. they are delivering medicines, medicalsupplies, bottled medicines, medical supplies, bottled water, medicines, medicalsupplies, bottled water, hygiene kits and cleaning kits, they are giving sheets and blankets, but in quantities that are far from blankets, but in quantities that are farfrom enough. in the blankets, but in quantities that are far from enough. in the south, blankets, but in quantities that are farfrom enough. in the south, food distribution are helping to bring down prices and palestinians in gaza were able to buy bread at a subsidised price. iwelcome were able to buy bread at a subsidised price. i welcome the agreement facilitated by qatar and france, and operation to deliver additional medicines and health care supplies to civilians in gaza in two hostages held in gaza. they also

welcome israel's announcement that it will allow united nations assessment mission to the north, but that mission is on hold because of renewed fighting. under secretary general, starting the work of reconstruction for gaza in late january. in line with security council resolution 2720. that is the. . . council resolution 2720. that is the... meeting _ council resolution 2720. that is the... meeting to _ council resolution 2720. that is the... meeting to discuss - council resolution 2720. that is the... meeting to discuss the i the... meeting to discuss the situation in gaza. we will be speaking to our un correspondent in a few minutes' time. so we willjust leave him there momentarily and take you back to gaza because... the israeli army says 2a of its soldiers were killed in gaza on monday — the deadliest day for its forces since their ground operation began. there's increasing pressure — internationally and from within israel — for the fighting to stop. to secure the release of the remaining 130 hostages held by hamas and to allow in more humanitarian aid. in this video from the israeli defence forces you can see strikes

on hamas targets in southern gaza. the israeli military says that its forces have completed the encirclement of the city of khan younis which has been the focus of intense fighting in recent days. they've also said they've completed the encirclement of the city that has been the focus of pretty intense fighting in recent days. for the latest of what's been happening on the ground — here's our middle east correspondent lucy williamson.— and a warning, her report contains some distressing images. he sings. a nation's deadliest day in this war, a family's darkest. sergeant hadar kapeluk, a 23—year—old reservist serving on the gaza border, sent in on a mission without his family knowing. his brother, helpless with grief, promised to look after mum and dad. gunshots. his brother, helpless with grief, promised to look after mum and dad.

gunshots. he was at the border, he wasn't supposed to fight, he wasn't supposed to go in. we didn't know he went in. we didn't know we were supposed to worry about him. 21 reservists died yesterday in a rocket attack that detonated the mines they were laying. a new kind of loss for israel, a new kind of pressure at home. the wounds left by the hamas attacks here last october still haven't healed, kept raw by the daily reminder of hostages held inside gaza. these fresh losses have raised the price of a war many here support. translation: we are in | the midst of an unjust war. in this war, there are great achievements, including today in completing the encirclement of khan younis. but there are also very heavy prices.

the city of khan younis is now the focus of israel's offensive. it's underground tunnels, a refuge for hamas leaders. but yesterday's attack was outside the city, above ground, half a mile from the border. more than three months into its war in gaza, israel's army is still fighting for control. and as israel searches for hamas here, palestinians search for safety. residents and refugees in khan younis driven south by the war. the city's main hospital submerged by patients — now surrounded by israeli forces. translation: most of the medical staff had evacuated, _ leaving only a few doctors to attend to the casualties. the situation is worse than a disaster. with no way out, families bury their dead in the sand

outside the hospital. a war that feels close to home in israel has left gazans feeling there's nowhere to go. lucy williamson, bbc news, jerusalem. we saw lucy talking about those hostages who remain with hamas in gaza. the efforts being made to try to get them home. what does this mean that for the israeli govenrment and how does it impact public sentiment towards the war— let's talk to alon pinkas, who is the former israeli consul general in new york and foreign policy adviser to ehud barak and political adviser to shimon peres. he is also a columnist for israeli newspaper ha'aretz whitening thank you so much for joining us. it is good to talk to you. where does this leave the israeli government? the pressure is really building. the israeli government? the pressure is really building-— really building. the pressure was buildin: really building. the pressure was

[30 to exponentially increase in the next few weeks and months. do you think the israeli _ next few weeks and months. do you think the israeli population - next few weeks and months. do you think the israeli population went - next few weeks and months. do you think the israeli population went to l think the israeli population went to see a political objective here? yes. see a political ob'ective here? yes. you know. _ see a political ob'ective here? yes.

you know. the — see a political objective here? yes. you know, the israeli _ see a political objective here? 133 you know, the israeli population, you have to understand that zeitgeist of the israeli psyche at this point. on the one hand, there is still devastation shocks, agony, pain from october seven through 109 days of war. some people want revenge. people want vengeance, people want to hit back hamas. people want to obliterate thomas. on the other hand, there is a creeping realisation that it may not be attainable and that the status quo is not sustainable. that mr benjamin netanyahu was managing the war with his political calculations as the prime interest rather than the good of the country where the actual management of the war. and i think that what you see now, you know, protests from families of hostages will expand significantly in the next few weeks with a demand that

the prime minister either resign or immediately call for election. right, if he did that, if he resigned, if there is some sort of election, what difference is that going to make, do you think, to the path that israel has taken?- path that israel has taken? look, there is, there _ path that israel has taken? look, there is, there is _ path that israel has taken? look, there is, there is a _ path that israel has taken? look, there is, there is a short - path that israel has taken? look, there is, there is a short term - there is, there is a short term objective and that is to incapacitate hamas in gaza politically, if not militarily, and there is a longer term, not that long, but longerterm there is a longer term, not that long, but longer term objective, thatis long, but longer term objective, that is to somehow disassociate israel from the palestinians, whether it leads to a two state solution of some other modality remains to be seen, but the first thing in the minds of most israelis and for that matter in the mind of onejoseph biden who lives in washington is to dispense with this government and get to read with a

the fire had been confined to an area of 2.5 hectares but the height and natural topography of the hills have complicated their efforts. the united nations says the number of homicides in haiti more than doubled in 2023. a report by the un secretary general, antonio guterres, says almost four thousand eight hundred people were murdered last year. the new figures put haiti among the most deadly countries in the world. you're live with bbc news. let's return now to new york, where the united nations security council is currently in session. these are life pictures coming into us right now, discussing the situation in gaza, that is the secretary general in that last few minutes. he has said that a clear and repeated rejection of the two state solution ljy rejection of the two state solution by the highest levels of the israeli government is unacceptable. let's

speak to our correspondent in new york bring us up to date on what we have been hearing from the un security council so far. this have been hearing from the un security council so far.- have been hearing from the un security council so far. this is a ministerial _ security council so far. this is a ministerial briefing, _ security council so far. this is a ministerial briefing, and - security council so far. this is a ministerial briefing, and so - security council so far. this is a ministerial briefing, and so farl security council so far. this is a i ministerial briefing, and so far we have had that speech by the un secretary—general, very much talking about all aspects of this conflict, saying that he will continue in his limited capacity to pursue all efforts to get the hostages released. he then turned to gaza, talking about how the entire population is enduring a distraction and to scale and speed without parallel in recent history. so he reiterated his call for an immediate cease—fire, talked about the issues of humanitarian access to gaza, saying with winter bearing down from 2.3 million palestinians in gaza face inhumane squalid conditions struggling to even make it another day without proper shelter, heating, water, sanitation, so the secretary—general pushing for more

aid to get in but recreating that a cease—fire is necessary. then he very much turned to the long term impact of this, saying that the only way to ensure peace is for a two state solution. and as he mentioned there, saying that it needs to be rejected, any talk about refusal to accept that by any party and he said that even though over the decades the two state solution has been traduced, undermined and left for dead many times, he said it is the only way to achieve a durable and equitable peace in the region today. i briefing there for the secretary—general and we will hear from the foreign ministerfor secretary—general and we will hear from the foreign minister for the state of palestine as it's referred to here at the un, we will hear from the israeli ambassador to the un and then several other ministers who have, for at this meeting from ministers with norway, the uk, france to iran, russia as well, and

with settled status in the uk. his first victims were the university of nottingham students. we're walking the same route that grace and barnaby were walking on their way home after a night out clubbing at around four in the morning. they were just five minutes from their student accommodation when they were stabbed to death. he attacked barnaby with a dagger first. grace tried to protect her friend and fight calocane off, but he then attacked her too, leaving them both dead. someone said, "we're going to send two officers down to london to speak to you." and that's the moment that i realised something really, truly very wrong had happened. we drove up to nottingham, to a police station, and that's where we were confirmed and told that it was our daughter. i've notjust lost my older sister, but my best friend.

someone i'd to go through about everything. i was so proud, i would always speak about her. it's a joy for me to be able to say that she's my older sister. it's a privilege. calocane then walked to a hostel a mile away and tried unsuccessfully to break in before attacking his next victim. ian coates, who was just a few months away from retirement, was killed on his way to work. his van was stolen and then driven by calocane back into the city centre where he used it to hit three pedestrians, one of whom was critically injured. calocane has pleaded guilty to three counts of manslaughter on the basis of diminished responsibility and guilty to three counts of attempted murder. navteonhal, bbc news, nottingham. from me. back in few minutes. hello there. good evening. it's a very stormy period of weather and we're seeing the second named storm in just a few days. storm jocelyn follows hot

on the heels of storm isha hampering the clear up. we've seen heavy downpours of rain move eastwards today along with strengthening winds. and here goes that deep area of low pressure just passing to the north of scotland, following the same track as isha. perhaps the wind gusts not as severe for most, but with the trees, the structures having been weakened from the previous storm and the ground pretty saturated, there will still be some strong impacts in much of the north and the west of scotland towards exposed coast, in particular, underneath a met office amber weather warning until 8am tomorrow morning for gusts of wind of up to 75—80 mph. gusts towards irish sea coasts of up to 65 mph, widely 40—50 mph gusts, even, to low levels and away from the coast. so very windy night all in all, but it will be mild, dry towards the south, blustery showers, torrential downpours at times further north across scotland. so still a very windy start to the day. in fact, much of the north of the uk throughout the day tomorrow is covered by lower level yellow weather warning for the strength

of the wind, still. there'll be some blustery showers blowing across scotland, down through wales and towards the end of the day we'll see this area of cloud just creep into southwest england. some patchy rain on that. temperatures not quite as high as on tuesday, but still mild for the time of year with double figures for most. but it will be turning milder still as this warm frontjust creeps its way further northwards and eastwards as we head through thursday. again, a tight squeeze on the isobars. it will be windy, but not as windy as on tuesday, with further downpours of rain across northern ireland, northwest england and into western scotland too. possibly some of that rain a little wintry over the tops of the hills before the milder air digs in. highs of 13 degrees celsius for many. there will be more rainfall, of course, across western scotland. it's here where we'll see the ground pretty saturated, another 100 millimetres of rainfall, perhaps, by the time we get to the end of the week here. also northwest england, some high rainfall totals. so while wind is the main concern, rain could also be a problem by the time we get to the end of the week.

and there are some flood warnings in force. as we head through friday, it's a bit more settled. it will be turning cooler by night, particularly towards the north and the east as we head through the week. some more rainfall for many, particularly in the north and west, over the weekend. bye— bye.
